Under Lin Xiang’s lead, the three of them passed through the teleportation gate and returned to Kaiyang City thousands of kilometers away.
When they arrived at Lin Xiang’s office, Lin Xiang took out three green resource balls from the cabinet. “This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo, who did not understand, took it. Chen Xue, who was at the side, frowned. “Manager Lin, this is against the rules, right? There was no reward for the previous actions.”
When Wang Xiao heard this, he replied, “Huh?” When he negotiated with Lin Xiang, he said that he would give 1,000,000 star coins and “heavy thanks”. Why was it that Chen Xue did not receive any remuneration? Could it be that everyone’s standards were different?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao also put the resource ball back. “Manager Lin, we’ve already discussed the conditions previously. I don’t want remuneration. You guys provide me with convenience, so I can’t accept these things.”
When he said the word “convenience”, Wang Xiao deliberately emphasized a little. After all, Chen Xue was still here. He could not say that he wanted to go to those sealed secret realms. Otherwise, Chen Xue would definitely stop him.
Lin Xiang understood what Wang Xiao meant and explained with an awkward smile, “The three of you, don’t misunderstand. This is just a personal token of my appreciation. Today, I was momentarily muddle-headed and said some ugly words. This can be considered my compensation.”
Chen Xue still looked puzzled, but Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo reacted. Lin Xiang should be talking about the time they wanted to save Chen Xue and were stopped.
This reason was quite sufficient, so Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo did not refuse. Although Chen Xue did not know what had happened, under the persuasion of the two of them, she still put away the resource ball.
Accepting the gift meant that there was still room for mediation. Lin Xiang’s expression also improved a lot. “The three of you have worked very hard today.
I won’t keep you anymore. Let’s meet another day!”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao suddenly looked at Lin Xiang in a different light.
Logically speaking, Lin Xiang should be very anxious to sign the contract, but he did not show it. Instead, he took the initiative to give them time to consider.
Although there was a risk of failure this way, at least in Wang Xiao’s heart, this buffer made him have a good impression of Lin Xiang.
After bidding farewell to Lin Xiang, the three of them left the Lord’s Shop together.
After walking along the street for a distance, Wang Xiao looked at Chen Xue and asked, “Teacher Chen, when Manager Lin was talking about cooperation previously, you shook your head at me. Did you want me not to agree?”
“I want you not to agree so quickly.”
Chen Xue sighed helplessly. “Your performance today has indeed exceeded my expectations, but those new secret realms are filled with danger. I hope you can seriously consider it.”
After a pause, Chen Xue said seriously with a complicated expression, “Moreover, the Lord’s Shop is very complicated. With your current strength, it’s best not to have too much contact with them.”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao could not help but look puzzled. With his current strength, not to mention in school, even in the entire Blue Planet, he was at least above average. Wasn’t this enough to protect him?
However, although he was puzzled, Wang Xiao did not ask. After all, with Chen Xue’s concern for him, if she could say it, she would definitely say it directly. It was useless to ask what she could not say.
Nodding to show that he understood, Wang Xiao changed to a relaxed tone and asked, “Teacher Chen, the academy’s ranking assessment is about to begin. I wonder how everyone is preparing?
At the mention of the academy’s ranking assessment, Chen Xue returned to being the serious and responsible class guide. She raised her beautiful eyebrows and teased, “Why? You’ve only been in Yuheng Academy for a day and you’re already helping them gather information?”
Wang Xiao pursed his lips and smiled. “Look at what you’re saying. I just don’t want my alma mater to lose too badly, so I want to ask if I have to go easy!” “There’s no need! When the time comes, you just have to do your best!”
Chen Xue waved her hand confidently. “Don’t think that no one in the world can deal with you just because you’re in the limelight in the lord competition. If you dare to underestimate your enemy, I’ll definitely make you unable to turn things around!”
“Haha! Then I’ll wait and see!”
Wang Xiao laughed. Then, he bade farewell to Chen Xue and sent Zhou Xiruo home before returning to his place.
Today’s trip to the [Large Secret Realm] had really tired Wang Xiao out. He originally wanted to go to the territory to take a look after returning home, but as soon as he lay on the bed, he fell asleep.
He slept until the sky darkened. When Wang Xiao “awakened”, the sun had already risen high.
“Oh no! I’m late for class!”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he jumped to the ground. Without even bothering to wash his face, he hurriedly ran towards Yuheng Academy.
Although he had the qualifications to accompany Zhou Xiruo on her travels and did not have to stay in school for class, he still had to report to school every day.
When Wang Xiao arrived at Yuheng Academy, it was already noon. Hearing the teacher’s lecture in Class B, he hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to knock on the door.
“Enter! ”
Wang Xiao pushed open the door and saw a young man standing on the podium. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked more refined than Li Changshan.
At first glance, Wang Xiao felt that this person was a little familiar. Before he could think further, he hurriedly apologized. “Teacher, I’m sorry. I’m late…”
The teacher raised his eyes. ‘You’re Wang Xiao?”
“Yes.”
The teacher nodded and introduced himself. “My name is Tian Gang. I’m the new class director of Class B.”
“Hello, Teacher Tian.”
Wang Xiao subconsciously greeted him. Then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. “Tian Gang?”
“That’s right.”
Tian Gang nodded, but the smile on his face was a little subtle. “Looks like you recognize me. That’s right, Tian Qiang of the Kaiyang Academy is my biological brother.”
Wang Xiao was speechless. In order to transfer to Yuheng Academy for the mission, not only was the mission a cover, but even the class director, Li Changshan, lacked substance.
It was not easy for him to get rid of Li Changshan and change his class director, but he encountered his sworn enemy’s brother. What kind of freaking luck was this?!
Tian Gang did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking. His expression darkened and he said coldly, “My brother went to the Fang family’s banquet. After he returned, he turned crazy.”
“Although the military hid the situation that night, my brother kept mentioning your name. I think this matter should be related to you, right?” Hearing this, the students of Class B immediately perked up.
Even they had heard of the genius Tian Qiang who had awakened the [Magic Net] talent. However, now that this genius had gone crazy and was related to Wang Xiao, how could they not be interested?
“Wang Xiao, did Tian Qiang really go crazy because of you?”
“I heard that a powerful enemy attacked on the day of the Fang family’s banquet. Is it actually true?”
“Wang Xiao! Tell me quickly!”
The students of Class B asked. Looking at their gossipy expressions, Wang Xiao suddenly wanted to change classes again.
Seeing that Wang Xiao remained silent, Tian Gang sneered and waved his hand. “Don’t be afraid. I’m your class director now, so I naturally won’t do anything to you. However, you’d better not make any mistakes in the future. Otherwise… Hmph!”
Hearing Tian Gang’s slightly greasy sneer, Wang Xiao could not help but sigh in his heart.. With such a class director, his future would probably not be easy!
